It reached the 22nd position of the English Chart “UK Sales Charts”.

Mr Sam was born in mid 70s, the time when punk music was emerging from rock played on stadiums. He grew up in a small idyllic village near the border with Belgium in the north of France.
Since he was a child he was exposed to the music of Giorgio Moroder, Klaus Schultz and Elvis Presley. Which was the result of his parents’ musical taste. Due to this involuntary contact with electronic music he developed fascination with the muted sounds of the synthesiser. After he had bought his first Depeche Mode’s single he became addicted for good. Yet it seems to have taken him ages to find his own musical equipment.
Due to his fondness for computer games and emergence of technologically created Hi-NRG dance music he was captivated by New Beat music that entered the Belgian EBM scene.

When he was 16 he bacame interested in techno, which came from the underground scene. This interest resulted in his moving to Belgium. When he was 18 he was a popular Dj that was enthusiastically received either in French or Belgian underground clubs.

His club music sound and style have been becoming more and more inspiring as the new editions came out. It was mainly because of the labels such as MFS which issued the first trance recordings in cooperation with such pioneering artists as Cosmic Baby and Paul Van Dyk. It was the beginning og the techno- trance sound that was to be more tuneful.

It wasn’t long before the group of fans gathered around him. After that he was given an opportunity to popularise on of the most famous Belgian Clubs called Rocca. It was his chance to appeal to the taste of monotonous and industrial techno fans.

In the 1990s when trance music was replacing techno Mr Sam played with the top Djs in France, Belgium, Portugal, the Hetherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
He also plyed at such events as legendary and extremely popular festival “ I Love Techno in Gent.
Many excing moments took place behind the decks.One of which is twelve-hour playing with Andry Nalin which made an unforgetable impression on a young and talented Dj.

As there are strong bonds that unify Dj and his fans, Dj always makes them long for more.
In Belgium Mr Sam’s popularity had been increasing in a short period of time till he became one of the best Belgian Djs. He even became a resident Dj at Logoa, La Nova, Tour & Taxi, Pachta. However, he still had to wait for his inetrnational success. Is it possible for a young attractive Dj to go up the ladder of success if the top steps are occupied by such celebrities as Sash, BT, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk?

In the late 90s the sounds of trance were defined and became as popular as pop music in the 90s. It was the right moment to change and try the new ideas. Mr Sam played and even astonished some of the top names in the busic business. Such famous artists as Carl Cox, Jack de Marseille, Andry Nalin, Danny Howells, Luke Sater, Robert Miles, Parks& Wilson had memoirs connected with him. It was not like that until he started to create his own recordings, which showed that he was talented not only as a song editor but also as a producer. In the meantime, his remixes created for other artists made him a recognised producer.

His first remix was created in 1999 for Diki Records.He also produced remix for Circuit Boy’s The Door, the recording that was widely promoted by Danny Tenaglia and Corvin Dalek. It was also used by Dillinger& capone and Timo Mass’s Mad Dogs and it developed their remixing abilities which led to the dominance of wet& hard together with classic remix Corvin Dalek’s Pornoground. The latter was created on the license of Flesh and soon after that it came out in the UK by MInistry of Sounds’ Data Label, Sinead o’connor, Maria Naylor, Praga Khan, Corvin Dalek, Niels Van Gogh and for some other people.
